Description
A colour postcard featuring an image of a campfire around which men are dancing. They are wearing grass skirts and carrying spears. At the bottom right is a text box which reads "Within the circle of the camp / Blazed the clear fire, while measured tramp / Of dancing warriors shook the ground / To song and time sticks throbbing sound. / Mamba - G.G. McCrae." On the back is printed "Art Series - Copyright."
